It's obvious to me that I have severe anxiety.I am trying to avoid taking medication as I need to be alert at all times as my son who has special needs is heavily relliant upon me.I am thinking of giving this C.B.T a go in the hope that this sensible and calm version of myself can adapt without having even more medication than I'm already on.Has anyone managed this with anxiety? Without medication

Thank you for answering my question.Its very interesting hearing your experience.Is there a possibility you might try it again with a different therapist? Or has this put you off?

Hey, @Jane315STARX I'm sorry to hear you are feeling anxious....there's a lot of research supporting CBT as helpful for managing symptoms of anxiety like worrying, imagining the worst etc. I was a psychologist in a previous life so I saw it's potential to help people many of whom weren't on any medication.

If you are getting a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety there is loads of stuff on line about "Nervous System Regulation" (and the Polyvagel Theory is you like that side of things). Makes a lot of sense and there are plenty of things you can try for yourself straightaway. Good luck with it
